sphinxcontrib.paverutils
########################
This module provides an alternative integration of Sphinx and
Paver_. It supports calling Sphinx from within Paver using multiple
configurations, and does not assume you only want to build HTML
output.
Basic Usage
===========
To use this module, import it in your pavement.py file as ``from
sphinxcontrib import paverutils``, then define option Bundles for
"html" and/or "pdf" output using the options described in the task
help.
For example::
import paver
import paver.misctasks
from paver.path import path
from paver.easy import *
import paver.setuputils
paver.setuputils.install_distutils_tasks()
try:
from sphinxcontrib import paverutils
except:
import warnings
warnings.warn('sphinxcontrib.paverutils was not found, you will not be able to produce documentation')
options(
setup=Bunch(
name = 'MyProject',
version = '1.0',
# ... more options here ...
),
# Defaults for sphinxcontrib.paverutils
sphinx = Bunch(
docroot='.',
sourcedir='docsource',
builder='html',
),
# One configuration to build HTML for the package
html=Bunch(
builddir='docs',
confdir='sphinx/pkg',
),
# Another configuration with different templates
# to build HTML to upload to the website
website=Bunch(
builddir = 'web',
confdir='sphinx/web',
),
# We also want a PDF file for the website,
# so the instructions are included in the web
# configuration directory.
pdf=Bunch(
builddir='web',
builder='latex',
confdir='sphinx/web',
),
)
Tasks
=====
After you have imported ``sphinxcontrib.paverutils`` in your
``pavement.py`` file, Paver will show two additional tasks. ``html``
takes the place of the task defined in ``paver.doctools`` and can be
used to build HTML output. ``pdf`` uses the LaTeX builder and an
external toolset such as TeXLive_ to create a PDF manual.
Configuration Parameters
========================
docroot
the root under which Sphinx will be working.
default: ``docs``
builddir
directory under the docroot where the resulting files are put.
default: ``build``
sourcedir
directory under the docroot for the source files
default: ``""`` (empty string)
doctrees
the location of the cached doctrees
default: ``$builddir/doctrees``
confdir
the location of the sphinx conf.py
default: ``$sourcedir``
outdir
the location of the generated output files
default: ``$builddir/$builder``
builder
the name of the sphinx builder to use
default: ``html``
template_args
dictionary of values to be passed as name-value pairs to the HTML
builder
default: ``{}``
Advanced Usage
==============
You can also develop your own tasks by calling ``run_sphinx()`` directly::
@task
@needs(['cog'])
@cmdopts([
('in-file=', 'b', 'Blog input filename'),
('out-file=', 'B', 'Blog output filename'),
])
def blog(options):
"""Generate the blog post version of the HTML for the current module.
"""
# Generate html from sphinx
paverutils.run_sphinx(options, 'blog')
blog_file = path(options.blog.outdir) / options.blog.out_file
dry("Write blog post body to %s" % blog_file,
gen_blog_post,
outdir=options.blog.outdir,
input_base=options.blog.in_file,
blog_base=options.blog.out_file,
)
if 'EDITOR' in os.environ:
sh('$EDITOR %s' % blog_file)
return
Cog Extensions
==============
In addition to the ``html`` and ``pdf`` tasks, the package includes the function ``run_script()`` to be used with cog to insert the output of a command line program in your documentation.
This example of reStructuredText source using ``run_script()``::
.. {{{cog
.. cog.out(run_script(cog.inFile, 'anydbm_whichdb.py'))
.. }}}
.. {{{end}}}
renders to::
.. {{{cog
.. cog.out(run_script(cog.inFile, 'anydbm_whichdb.py'))
.. }}}
::
$ python anydbm_whichdb.py
dbhash
.. {{{end}}}
The lines prefixed with ``..`` are comments, and do not appear in the
final HTML or PDF output.
Arguments:
input_file
The name of the file being processed by cog. Usually passed as cog.inFile.
script_name
The name of the Python script living in the same directory as input_file to be run.
If not using an interpreter, this can be a complete command line. If using an
alternate interpreter, it can be some other type of file.
interpreter='python'
The external interpreter to use for the program. Specify 'python',
'python3', 'jython', etc.
include_prefix=True
Boolean controlling whether the ``::`` prefix is included. When chaining multiple
commands together, the first instance would typically use the default and subsequent
calls would use False.
ignore_error=False
Boolean controlling whether errors are ignored. If not ignored, the error
is printed to stdout and then the command is run *again* with errors ignored
so that the output ends up in the cogged file.
trailing_newlines=True
Boolean controlling whether the trailing newlines are added to the output.
If False, the output is passed to rstrip() then one newline is added. If
True, newlines are added to the output until it ends in 2.
break_lines_at=0
Integer indicating the length where lines should be broken and
continued on the next line. Defaults to 0, meaning no special
handling should be done.
line_break_mode='break'
Mode to control how the line breaks are inserted. Options are:
'break'
Insert the newline.
'wrap'
Use the textwrap module to wrap each line individually to the
specified width.
'fill'
Use the textwrap module to wrap each line individually,
inserting an appropriate amount of whitespace to keep the left
edge of the lines aligned.
'continue'
Insert a backslash (``\``) and then a newline to break the line.
'truncate'
Break the line at the indicated location and discard the
remainder.
.. note::
PyMOTW_ makes heavy use of this function, with several variations in arguments, so
refer to the source there for more examples if you need them.

History
=======
1.4
---
- Add different modes for breaking lines in the output of ``run_script()``.
- Incorporate a fix from Maciek Starzyk for issue #6 so docroot can be
set to something other than ``.``.
1.3
---
Added simple line-splitting to ``run_script()``.
1.2
---
Modified ``run_script()`` so that if *ignore_error* is False any
exception caused by the external application is re-raised. This
"breaks" a build if there is a problem generating the cog output in an
rst file, and makes it easier to spot problems with the cog
instructions.
1.1
---
Updated to include ``run_script()`` function.
1.0
---
First public release based on the versions of these functions
developed for PyMOTW_.
